It takes much less time to build a kernel configured specifically for your
machine, with only the modules you need (compiled in or as module shouldn't
matter), than to build a distro kernel, which has to build almost all
modules in existence. But of course, you have to know what you're doing to
configure a custom kernel, and it also takes time (YOUR time, not just your
computer's) to configure it.
